Where Were You

(Hook)
You're missing out(missing out)
Like a ball you pitching out
Missing all the most precious times 
Going through the most hectic times 
In my life im moving forward
Not going a step behind 
No need for excuses for what you didn't do
I cant keep dwelling on where were you

(Verse 1)
Every time i looked up
You were never there
Unlike time, i didn't have alot to spare (spare)
Ive had some trying times and 
Some were great
At times i felt like i had enough on my plate 
Is it to late 
Can i begin with 
Can i start
Before i finish
Or be replenished 
I don't know 
If i were to get away 
Tell me where would i go(go)

(Chorus)
Where has the time gone 
In my life 
Felt alone (so alone)
My good outweighed my wrong
Thats why i have to remain strong(so strong)
When you weren't there
I felt no one cared
Got to let it go
To succeed i have to grow 
Let the past be the past
Get it straight
Practice more to appreciate 
On those days when i dont have a clue
I cant keep dwelling on where were you

(Verse 2)
Flipping through my life i see the pages
They are not worn out 
Just going through the stages 
The stages of becoming a woman
This is my life 
I got to own it
Do what i got to do
Regardless of the situation 
I got to stay true 
Stay true to myself 
Stressing in this world not good for your health (your health)
Try to look around 
Im no longer lost im found(found)

(Chorus)

Where has the time gone 
In my life 
Felt alone (so alone)
My good outweighed my wrong
Thats why i have to remain strong(so strong)
When you weren't there
I felt no one cared
Got to let it go
To succeed i have to grow 
Let the past be the past
Get it straight
Practice more to appreciate 
On those days when i dont have a clue
I cant keep dwelling on where were you

Repeat until chorus fades

This poem (song) is well written and presents an original viewpoint of a woman's evaluation of herself and her life as she interprets it. Emile. #7
